- Award Snub: It can feel truly mystifying that this movie and its spectacular, well-lit views of the mountains and their prehistoric animal inhabitants throughout multiple seasons failed to even get nominated for the Best Cinematography Oscar.
- Awesome Music: Joseph S. DeBeasi's pounding tribal score is an excellent compliment to all the beautiful prehistoric Scenery Porn.
- Spiritual Successor:
- To Quest for Fire: Whereas the first has prehistoric Humanity learns to create fire; this film is about Humanity gaining a new friend to help them survive and prosper.
- People on the comments for the trailer have said that it's the closest we'd get to an adaptation of Far Cry Primal, considering that both works feature a prehistoric setting, their dialog consists of a subtitled constructed primitive dialect, and also in the latter video game the first beast you tame is a wolf.
- It could also be considered as the serious, live-action version of The Good Dinosaur, both films even have a similar scene in which the main characters bond while spending the night on a cave.
- Viewer Species Confusion: The big cat resembling a Machairodus is actually a cave lion. With saber teeth.
